The funny thing about Ken Jennings hosting is that he was never Alex Trebek's choice to take over after him. Before that weird producer stepped in and then promptly got fired and replaced with Ken, Alex picked Laura Coates as his replacement I've never forgotten this www.essence.com/news/alex-tr...

Just had some belated birthday cake to celebrate our girl’s 21st. She wrote an exam that day. As much as we got used to being empty nesters, man it is so great to have her home. The house just feels so alive.

And Hoffman is off to the Twins.

On my way to the airport to pick up our girl!! I will be a very happy Mom very soon.

The youngest is in the air! Flight one, a layover, then the flight home. I am so excited!!!

Today I am making meatballs for my youngest daughter - her favourite meal. It’s my own recipe to accommodate her soy allergy, so this is a mom special. I have received many requests for this visit. There is not much better than making food for those you love.

Insurance companies offered a discount for our 20 year old to be tracked. Speed. Stops. How you drive. Um no thank you. Sold like it’s for safety. Nope.

Companies are all in on selling folks the idea that it’s in your best interest for your products to “know you” as if you are getting a dedicated servant but what you are really getting is a spy.

I am dusting the youngest’s room in preparation for her visit. She has not been home since December 30th. The sneezing is a lot. Oh boy. 🤧

The thunder woke me up for the lightning show at 4 am, but I fell back asleep until 7. The adjustment away from 5:30 a.m. wake-ups has begun.

I tried a new recipe for supper, smashed dumpling tacos. Some things I liked, others I would tweak. The drizzle was really good. Had to hold off on the heat as my husband is not a fan.

This doesn’t suprise me at all. It has happened on every social media platform as has been well documented and studied and as you all know with every wave of bots and and blue waves and trolls and romance scammers I’ve been whispering kinda loudly for folks to worry about this…

Today I am back to being retired. I quit the position I took for the summer. I was truly unhappy. A very bad fit. Life is too short to be miserable. I know I am very lucky to have other income and I appreciate that very much.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is suing Minnesota over a first-in-the-nation law banning technology that allows users to create and post deepfake videos or images of people naked without their consent.

An absolute disgrace of a ruling. The judge should be ashamed. Another old white man (with a military background - no surprise) who can’t control his emotions and feels entitled to assault women is rewarded with no punishment. A total disgrace.

This judge’s regrettable sentence (to put it politely) needs to be appealed, and some enterprising investigative journalist needs to review his sentencing history for broad publication. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I think I will bake some scones before it gets hot. Have some fresh blueberries that need to be productive.

My youngest arrives home in a week for a whole month! Her first time home since December. The countdown is on. My beach and coffee buddy returns!

I bought a lot of Taylor farms salads. Convenient for work lunch. Never again.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

Why does Costco use UPS? Why? Out for delivery! Yay! Delay. Of course.

Up bright and early. Did some wake up yoga and some strength exercises. All ready for the day! That early bed time last night was smart. Also did not need to watch the rest of that Jays game. 😬

The smoke and tariffs stuff isn’t him bring stupid. It’s another reason to make us the 51st state. “Rescue the forest.” I am tired of this universe.

We cannot rest, until the entire map is both deep green, and also *completely unnecessary*.
